Well the way I think it should enter into the economists' discourse is to moderate their opinions / orthodoxies. It isn't meant as a green light for them to spout their metaphysical opinions.

Economists should be more like, "Yeah, we have a labor shortage and immigration can help with that, but yeah we can understand why people want to preserve their historical culture." Or, "Yeah, the market is continually expanding access to a wide variety of goods and services, but yeah the fact that you have to rent everything now and can't afford to own anything feels bad man"
